Reviews of Pilkington windshield

I find that they all vary. Even the 2977. Haven\u2019t run into issues from it though, yet.

Pilkington glass. I went through two windshields for no reason at all. Worst deductibles I’ve ever had to spend on.

the windshield on my 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE needed to be replaced and I decided to go through Glass America to get it done. Unfortunately, I've had to take it three times now as each windshield has had somewhat significant distortion.

I also got a pilkington replacement about 6 months ago. No problems with it, and at this point I entirely forgot.

Same thing happened to me and ended up with the Pilkington glass. Actually like it more than the OEM since there's less visual distortion.

Does your local shop carry Pilkington? That’s a good OE brand that Audi used throughout the years, I think. Pilkington is a supplier for Mercedes too. I’ve had them in my cars and haven’t had any issues.

Pilkington is usually made better in my opinion. Any manufacturer can have issues including OEM. For my vehicles I use Pilkington, its the closest to OEM.

Pilkington is my favorite but they’ll all work, just looks nicer/ more hydrophobic at first

The glass installed was Pilkington. Pilkington is the OEM glass for my three Mercedes and Ferrari. Look at your windshield. The manufacturer is on it. That is what you want. Next time I got a chip, I called Safelite and asked if they could get me Pilkington glass. They said yes, showed up and replaced it. Happened a third time, and Safelite did it a third time.

I had my oem Saint Gobain Sekurit glass replaced with Pilkington glass since insurance didn't want to pay for the OEM. Never had any issues with HUD visibility; however, the replacement was done by the BMW dealer.
